20 Weeks Pregnant and 11 Days til Hawaii

I am "officially" half-way done with the pregnancy when you count weeks.  If you count the fact that I will be having a c-section a week early then I have less than half left.  Its all give or take a week anyways.
Last Monday was my doctor appointment and I had a blood test to test for anemia and downs syndrome.  My results came back normal.  PTL!  So this time I am not anemic, which I was with Lily.  So I won't have to take an iron supplement this time.
Tomorrow I have my 2nd official ultrasound.  This is when I would have originally found out what we are having.  I am excited to get to see her again.  I am hoping the lady will show us some 3D too.
We hope to get a crib this weekend.  We are going with Ryan's parents who have offered to get us a new crib so that Lily doesn't have to give hers up.  We also need to go get paint so we can start that now that we have the bedding picked out.  I just want to have everything done and ready good and early this time around so there are no worries if we get to bring her home early.

11 Days til we leave for Hawaii.  Cannot get here any sooner!  However, it has creeped up on me and I feel like there is so much to do to get ready.  Mainly packing so we don't forget anything.  I am certain that I have over packed which is ok because when you are pregnant you never know what is going to be comfortable to wear so I want plenty of options.  The average temps this time of year are 75-78 F.  Which sounds amazing compared to the 10 degrees that it has been here.  Can't wait!  I am a little nervous for the plane ride and how Lily will do.  But I am not going to let my worries ruin the vacation!
I think that's it for now.
